FeII strength in NLS1s -- dependence on the viewing angle and FWHM (1912.03118v1)

Abstract: We address the effect of orientation of the accretion disk plane and the geometry of the broad-line region (BLR) in the context of understanding the distribution of quasars along their Main Sequence. We utilize the photoionization code CLOUDY to model the BLR, incorporating the `un-constant' virial factor. We show the preliminary results of the analysis to highlight the co-dependence of the Eigenvector 1 parameter, $\mathrm{R_{FeII}}$ on the broad H$\beta$ FWHM (i.e. the line dispersion) and the inclination angle ($\theta$), assuming fixed values for the Eddington ratio ($\mathrm{L_{bol}}/\mathrm{L_{Edd}}$), black hole mass ($\mathrm{M_{BH}}$), spectral energy distribution (SED) shape, cloud density (n$\rm{_{H}}$) and composition.
